Framing a drag truss over an interior shear wall can help alleviate stress concentrations at diaphragm openings, re-entrant corners, offsets, or reduce the aspect ratio of the diaphragm.

Jun 22, 2024 · By employing analysis methods like the method of joints and sections for trusses, moment distribution and Kani’s method for frames, and cantilever and finite element analysis …

Apr 19, 2023 · Develop a shear wall schedule using shear wall capacities defined in the American Wood Council’s 2021 Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS). Examine …

Wood-framed shear walls are generally formed via the proper attachment of structural sheathing (e.g. wood panels, corrugated steel sheathing) or diagonal bracing to a wood frame. …

Jun 21, 2006 · Have the truss manufacturer design the shear transfer (truss) block for a shear force equal to the capacity of the lower wall on your plans and you should remain relatively …

Properly designed drag strut trusses, shear walls and roof diaphragms and their connections will transfer lateral loads to the foundation and then safely into the ground. Using MiTek …

A shear wall is simply a cantilevered diaphragm to which load is applied at the top of the wall, and is transmitted out along the bottom of the wall. This creates a potential for overturning which …

Oct 7, 2010 · There is a 15-ft long shear wall in the middle, so collectors are required to get the diaphragm shear into the shear wall. There is a magnificent parapet, which is partially …
